Satellite Observability for Django

2 followers

"Satellite Observability" - Like a satellite, Orbit observes your application from a distance without interfering with it. Unlike Django Debug Toolbar which injects HTML into your templates, Django Orbit runs on its own isolated URL (/orbit/). This means: ✅ No DOM pollution ✅ No CSS conflicts ✅ Works with any frontend (React, Vue, HTMX, etc.) ✅ API-friendly debugging ✅ Clean separation of concerns

🚀Welcome to the Mission: Django Orbit is Live! Hey PH Community! 🛰️ I’m the creator of Django Orbit, and I built this because I was tired of "intrusive" debugging tools that only worked if you were rendering standard HTML templates. Django Orbit is an observability "Satellite." It orbits your application, capturing every signal—from SQL queries to background jobs—without ever touching your frontend code or injecting a single line into your DOM. 🛠️ The Full Suite of Mission Control Features: 1. Core Observability (The Essentials) Request/Response Tracking: Full capture of headers, payloads, and status codes. SQL Recording: Deep query inspection with N+1 detection and slow query alerts. Log & Exception Aggregation: Automatically centralize Python logs and full tracebacks. 2. Extended Monitoring (The Deep Dive) Management Commands: Finally, see exactly what happens when you run python manage.py. Cache & Redis: Monitor hits, misses, and operations (GET, SET, DEL) in real-time. Model Auditing: Automatic tracking of ORM create/update/delete events. Outbound Traffic: Monitor outgoing HTTP API requests and sent emails. 3. Advanced Ops (For Scaling Apps) Background Jobs: Native monitoring for Celery, Django-Q, RQ, and APScheduler. Database Transactions: Track atomic blocks, commits, and rollbacks to find data integrity issues. Storage Ops: Monitor file interactions across S3 and Local storage. Security Auditing: Track Gates and Permission checks to see who is accessing what. 4. The "Plug-and-Play" System Graceful Degradation: Our modular architecture ensures that if a watcher fails, it auto-disables. Your app stays up, no matter what. Health Dashboard: A dedicated /orbit/health/ view with visual status indicators for every module. 🎨 Why you'll love the UI We built a beautiful, space-themed Dark UI using HTMX for live updates. It’s fast, lightweight, and because it lives at /orbit/, it works perfectly with React, Vue, Alpine.js, or even pure API backends. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the "Satellite" approach. We are committed to making Django debugging cleaner and more powerful. Would you like me to create a technical "How to Get Started" guide or perhaps a comparison table between Orbit and traditional tools to add to your launch page?
